I was saying that. but actually I was stealing from someone else's post. And i could be wrong. But that is one of the most ridulous comparisons I have ever read on TOTV.
The reasonable comparison for your example would be that there is a local law against stealing more than $5,000 from a liquor store.
The state then passes a law stating that no locality can make any new laws about stealing from a liquor store. But localities that already have restrictions are grandfathered.
Then the locality modifies their law to state that you can't steal more than $10,000 from liquor stores. That law is ok even though it is a new law because it is not as strict as the previous law that was grandfathered. That is EXACTLY how the law works, except your example is ludicrous.
I really, really don't know why that is such a hard concept to grasp for someone who wrote most of the medical procedures we undergo and most of the papers that we read about medicine on line.

That is completely different point. You may be 100% right.
